Yes but this was in real life, not just on the internet (until I posted a photo of it on here),& it's a 500!!

"The custom undertaking we’ll be analyzing today hails from Virginia’s Motohangar – an ambitious enterprise with some genuine talent at work on its premises. For a clear demonstration of their remarkable abilities, let’s proceed with a closer examination of the crew’s accomplishments on a weary 1975 model from Suzuki’s GT550 lineup, shall we?"

Maybe we should start a list of counter intuitive ways to make a bike interesting.

Yorick will be along in a minute to tell us that a bike needs 200bhp and perfect handling to be interesting.

Come chap called Fred and his new bike...



I remember reading about the belly pan fuel tank, but I had no idea about the exhaust routing!

I think they'd get quite hot.

Apparently it handled badly, I think Freddie described it being like a bucket of water on the end of a stick.

[KungFooBob]

He won a few races, then swapped back to the triple NS.

I found this while I was researching.

I nearly bought the early red one at about 20.
But went racing instead.

Mine was a 1980 model EN,I think. Great bike but the S still looks better even after all these years.

I had a kettle on the road and 120 was fun.
Had a go on the thou and saw 130. Blew me away.

But my race LC350 was nearly as quick .

My tuned YPVS 350 was as fast as a GS1000, a mates GSXR1100K wasn't massively quicker to 130.

Should be a law against people ruining classics like that!
